Description

groovy project uses commons-cli in following way:

options.addOption(OptionBuilder.hasArg().withArgName("path").withDescription("Specify where to find the class files - must be first argument").create("classpath"));
options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("classpath").hasArg().withArgName("path").withDescription("Aliases for '-classpath'").create("cp"));

https://github.com/groovy/groovy-core/blob/GROOVY_1_8_X/src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/tools/FileSystemCompiler.java#L297-L298

When called with long option "--classpath ...", it throws exception:
org.apache.commons.cli.UnrecognizedOptionException: Unrecognized option: --null

Same code works fine with commons-cli 1.2.
